Event Coverage: 2013 Detroit AutoRama: Pt. 2

Going through my coverage of the Detroit AutoRama, and looking at the attention to detail in all of the builds, it’s hard to not want to roll my own car directly into the nearest body of water and never look back.

So many of the cars are closer to works of art than they are vehicles and If I ever get to the point where I can build a car half (maybe even a quarter) as nice as those I saw in the Cobo Center on Saturday I’ll die a very happy man.

Eight simple to follow steps to building a great looking Hot RodThe results of the eight aforementioned steps is this ’32Sadly it seems I only took one photo of this car…Can’t imagine that there are too many New Yorkers rolling around that look anything like this oneBeauty Road RunnerThe ‘Juice Duece’ Nova.

People who work at custom sign shops who can’t spell should be shot. Rodden? Axel?

Besides that, the cars look sick! I saw the billboard for Autorama when I was passing through Detroit a couple weeks ago and I got the urge to just drive my truck to Cobo Hall and just stay parked there till the show started. Someday…

Though i’ve got a bit of mixed feelings about some of the cars;
The quality and workmanship is without a doubt awesome, although some of the cars seem to be build for show only and will probably never been really driven.
